Continue to About ↓- What it does
- Semaphore is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that builds, tests and deploys code on every push, running pipelines in the cloud, on your own agents (hybrid) or fully self-hosted, and it also ships an open-source Community Edition.
More detail
- It adds an MCP server and sem-ai agent plugin so coding agents can inspect pipelines, jobs and logs and help set up or fix CI.
- Best for
- Engineering teams that want pay-per-minute CI/CD with no per-seat fees, including mobile teams needing macOS runners and enterprises that require SOC 2 Type 2 controls, RBAC, audit logs and self-hosted or hybrid deployment.
- Pricing
- Pay-as-you-go compute priced per minute: Ubuntu ARM from $0.003/min (2vCPU) up to $0.012/min (8vCPU)
More detail
- Ubuntu x64 $0.0075/min (2vCPU) and $0.015/min (4vCPU)
- macOS $0.09/min (4vCPU)
- self-hosted agents $0.0025/min on any machine.
- Every organization gets $15 of free usage per month (about 2,000 Ubuntu
- Main limitation
- Buyers expecting a free plan tier or fully bundled support, and cloud-only teams that want to run jobs on their own machines without moving to a hybrid or self-hosted edition.

About
- Semaphore is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform that builds, tests and deploys code on every push, running pipelines in the cloud, on your own agents (hybrid) or fully self-hosted, and it also ships an open-source Community Edition.
- It adds an MCP server and sem-ai agent plugin so coding agents can inspect pipelines, jobs and logs and help set up or fix CI.
What it helps with
- Slow CI pipelines and long PR-to-merge times
- Flaky test runs that force repeated re-runs
- CI costs driven by per-seat pricing and idle compute
- Manual YAML configuration slowing first pipeline setup
- Slow root-cause analysis when a build fails
- Wasted builds in monorepos where unaffected projects still run
- Enterprise compliance requirements such as SOC 2 Type 2, RBAC and audit logging
Capabilities
A practical view of what is available and where limitations apply.
| Offering | Available | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| CI pipelines | Yes | YAML-as-code or visual Workflow Builder, parallel jobs, caching, fail-fast and auto-cancel. |
| Deployments and automation | Yes | Multi-stage promotions, deployment targets with access rules, and scheduled tasks. |
| MCP server and sem-ai agent plugin | Yes | Connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client to pipelines, jobs and logs; the blog describes further AI onboarding and failure analysis as in progress. |
| Monorepo change detection | Yes | Skips unaffected CI work in monorepos. |
| Test reports and observability | Yes | Test reports plus dashboards tracking pipeline speed, flaky tests and CI spend. |
| Self-hosted agents | Limited | Available in Hybrid and Enterprise editions; cloud plans do not include self-hosted agents. |
| macOS runners | Yes | $0.09/min for 4vCPU macOS machines. |
| Security and compliance | Yes | SOC 2 Type 2 (report on NDA request), ISO 27001:2022-aligned ISMS, TLS and AES-256 encryption, ephemeral sandbox VMs, RBAC and audit log streaming. |
| Free plan tier | No | No free plan; every organization instead receives $15 of free usage each month. |
| Bundled advanced support | No | Free support covers account setup, projects and Git integration; advanced CI troubleshooting requires paid support plans. |
